The Thousand Year Door -v1.0.1 Ry...: Paper Mario -

Unlike traditional turn-based RPGs, battles in The Thousand-Year Door take place on a literal theater stage.

Many fans ask: Should I play the Switch remake on Ryujinx or the GameCube original on Dolphin? Here’s a direct comparison using v1.0.1 on a mid-range PC (RTX 3060, i5-12400, 16GB RAM). Paper Mario - The Thousand Year Door -v1.0.1 Ry...

| Aspect | Switch Remake v1.0.1 (Ryujinx) | GameCube Original (Dolphin) | |--------|--------------------------------|------------------------------| | Resolution | Up to 4K+ via upscaling | Up to 4K+ via upscaling | | Framerate | 30 FPS (60 FPS possible with mod) | 60 FPS native (with hack) | | Textures | Completely redone HD, paper effects | Original low-res, but charming | | Battle UI | Streamlined, modernized | Classic, slower menus | | Extra Content | None vs. original (remake is faithful) | No major extras | | Stability | Very stable on v1.0.1 | Perfect stability | | Input Lag | Slightly higher due to Switch emulation | Lower, near-native | | Feature | TTYD GC (Dolphin) | TTYD Switch v1

Verdict: If you want the new visuals and official quality-of-life changes (e.g., quick-travel pipe rooms), go with Ryujinx + v1.0.1. If you crave 60 FPS without mods and original retro feel, stick with Dolphin. Unlike traditional turn-based RPGs

| Feature | TTYD GC (Dolphin) | TTYD Switch v1.0.1 (Ryujinx) | |---------|-------------------|-------------------------------| | Resolution | Up to 4K via HD textures | Native 1080p → 4K scaling | | Framerate | 30 FPS (patchable to 60, buggy) | 60 FPS native | | Loading times | Fast (less than Switch ver) | Slightly longer due to bigger assets | | Mods | Extensive (infinite partner, rebalance) | Early stage (limited to save edits) | | Audio | Original compressed OST | Reorchestrated (lossless in files) |

Switch remake adds quality of life (quick travel, Tattle log, art gallery). Emulation advantage goes to Dolphin for stability but Ryujinx for modern features.
